MD 2237 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 706… FOR EAST CENTRAL/NORTHEAST TX
Mesoscale Discussion 2237
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0104 AM CDT Thu Oct 05 2023
Areas affected…East central/northeast TX
Concerning…Severe Thunderstorm Watch 706…
Valid 050604Z – 050700Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 706
continues.
SUMMARY…Isolated strong/damaging gusts will be possible through
about 08z, but an additional watch is likely not needed.
DISCUSSION…A well-developed squall line continues to move
southeastward across northeast and east-central Texas, within the
remaining southeastern counties of WW #706. Gusts of 50-56 kt have
been measured from Corsicana to Tyler with an embedded bowing
segment in the squall line, and there will be a continued potential
for an additional severe gust or two (or wind damage) with this
segment of the line prior to reaching the Sabine River. Thereafter,
the convection will exit the richer low-level moisture and
associated larger buoyancy, and storms are expected to weaken.
Farther southwest, the orientation of the line suggests that the
stronger updrafts will tend to slightly lag the primary gust front,
and any wind-damage potential is expected to remain
isolated/marginal. Overall, the observed trends in the convection
and the evolution of the mesoscale environment suggest that the
severe threat will slowly diminish through the overnight hours, and
that an additional watch does not appear to be necessary.
